New member, second post. Has anyone done/seen a single sided swingarm on an F3? What do you think -- not worth the time/money?

Thanks,
Jeff.

 

If you have the money, and you like the look its worth it. ive never seen a f3 with one but gregs (the same place that does gregs custom blinkers) will build you a custom one sided swing arm for almost any bike. not only that theyll make it longer than stock if you want them too or whatever. downside is they cost about 2000-3000 bucks. so like i said if you like the look and can afford it. itd deffinatly be an eye catcher. but realisticly i can think of a better way to blow 3gs on a bike. the other route is using a vfr swingarm which is one sided. but i heard theres a decent amount of modification needed to make it work, and in the end the gregs still look better and you can get the chromed or polished and theyre made of round tubing and not boxy looking like most swingarms including the vfr.

 

I hear you there. I could think of tons of stuff to buy with 2500 that would improve my bike way more than a single sided swingarm. Just thought I'd see what you guys thought... Maybe I'll look into the VFR mod.

Thanks

 

hey i've seen it done on a f3 before. they used a single side of a vfr. it is definately a cool look. http://www.bikepics.com/members/sack/98cbr600/ this guy gave me some general info when i put a vfr sss on my 1000 hurricane. bet he could help you out too.

 

thats a sweet bike. i especially like his front fairing with the two small headlights.

 

Wow. That does look good. Maybe I've found my first mod (after paint)...

Thanks for the link grwilson6

 

I'm just in the process of doing this conversion on my 96 f3 - It's in bits right now - the problem is finding which bits fit - Jay who's done this on his bike on the link posted is really helpfull & is helping as much as he can by e-mail - I'll keep you informed on how i get on - If anyone's got any help or info I'd appreciate it .
Thanks.
Peter

 

You could just buy the 900RR I have for sale that already has a single sided swing arm.....

I could just buy a blade - but where would all the fun be then - besides I like my 600 - good fun when it leaves the blades behind

 

Not this blade........
